It is much simpler (and probably faster), and that's a big win for FUSE:
$ cat fs/fuse/*.[ch] | wc -l
4073
$ cat 9p/*.[ch] | wc -l
7271
And v9fs doesn't even have full 9P support (all users share single attach
for example).
V9fs's big plus is that it is network ready and has some form of
authentication.
I didn't see many interesting file systems on the FUSE page. I think that
v9fs can become very popular as long as we create enough useful file servers
(and even more important, write good documentation).
